The Poisoned Arrow - Don Miguel Ruiz
The poison is fear—this book is the cure. When the world wounds us with a metaphorical arrow, many of us spend our days chasing unanswerable questions: Why was I hurt? Who is to blame? Will it happen again? Beneath these restless inquiries lies a deeper truth: even though the event is now over, the fear it left behind is like a poison. It courses through our veins—whispering doubts, weaving prisons from old wounds, and painting the world in shades of threat and scarcity. But there is an antidote. In this transformative guide to overcoming fear, beloved Toltec teacher don Miguel Ruiz Jr. invites you to remove both the arrow and its poison. Through Toltec wisdom and timeless parable, you will learn to: Recognize fear’s hidden influence in your thoughts, words, and choices. Break free from fear-based agreements that keep you trapped in anxiety and unhappiness. Reclaim your power as the artist of your life, creating a reality rooted in peace and authenticity. With prose as tender as it is incisive, this book is not a map—it is a mirror. Look closely, and you may find that the antidote was always within you.

The Game Master's Book of Instant Towns and Cities - Jeff Ashworth
The Game Master''s Book of Instant Towns and Villages provides GMs with all of the inspiration they need to conjure up unique, vivid urban environments at a moment''s notice, or when trying to come up with ideas for new places to be explored. This game-saving collection brings together nearly 170 fully-realized places organized by environment and divided up into villages, towns, cities and capitals, so that when players are trudging through a dangerous swamp, unrelenting desert or stormy coastline and need to find shelter, they can stumble upon a fully realized settlement, elven enclave or dwarven mining camp, without requiring any development in advance on the part of the game master. At its core, this book works a bit like the bestselling Game Master''s Book of Non-Player Characters, but instead of providing information about the people one might meet, Instant Towns and Cities provides sketches of urban centers which can act as on-demand solutions to unexpected needs (ex. the characters need to find a physician right away and head for the nearest town, which until now, the GM had not developed) or as concepts that inspire entire adventure story arcs, depending on the partyÂ’s (or the GM''s) wants or needs. ...

The Murder Game - John Curran
From The Murder of Roger Ackroyd to Magpie Murders, and related diversions including cryptic crosswords and Cain’s Jawbone, The Murder Game examines the games authors played with their readers and the importance of puzzles in Golden Age whodunits.With books flourishing in the 1920s and ’30s like never before, no genre was more innovative or popular than detective fiction. It was an era that saw the emergence of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen and dozens of other authors who became household names for a generation of readers.The Golden Age of Detection has enjoyed a great resurgence of interest in recent years, with publishers mining back catalogues to bring the best of yesteryear to very receptive new audiences. What is it about a literary movement that took off in the 1920s that still appeals to book lovers in the 2020s?In this authoritative new study, John Curran reveals that it is the ludic qualities of classic crime fiction that continue to intrigue. At its heart is the ‘whodunit’ game between writer and reader, but there is also the game between detective and murderer, between publisher and book-buyer, even between the writers themselves.Coinciding with an increase in leisure time ...

The Angel Tree - Alex Dingwall-Main
As readers of The Luberon Garden will know, Alex Dingwall-Main has come across some very odd garden desires in his time. But none so odd as the Frenchman who asked Alex to find him the oldest olive tree in existence and fetch it to the South of France to take pride of place in his exquisite garden. This charming, witty and evocative piece of horticultural travel writing takes us from the olive groves of Provence, to the hillsides of Greece, from farms in Spain, to a back yard in Italy. Along the way our intrepid garden designer meets a tree that is 3,000 years old; a farmer who won''t sell his tree unless he can sell the 2,000 acre farm that surrounds it; an olive tree that saved a marriage and a village that believes a drop of rain touched by the leaves of the ancient ''Angel Olive'' will cure anything. A wonderfully lyrical book with an extraordinary mission.
